You guys noticed how they didn't say "PS5 only" for Sophy?

I think this means that we PS4 players aren't getting this update. Sad!

The trailer said PS5 Only for Sophy so safe to assume it will be hitting PS4. I imagine if they ever drop PS4 support they will announce it directly.

PS Blog has this wrong - the update on the GT site has the Gr.B race at Eiger Reverse instead and an additional Ferrari Challenge race at Monza.
 
I kinda hate they have a McLaren extra menu and you have to have the F1 which coincidentally is a special pick in Legends now. I guess it is what it is.

I thought the RGT 4.2 is only available with a 6-speed MT, but was there actually a PDK version?

That's what I was surprised to find out when it was revealed for the update. But like what I've mentioned from the update thread, there are 4 units with a PDK gearbox (One being RHD) according to a listing I found on the Internet.

And on the profile post I made, @pez2k gave some info about RUFs having PDKs in general:
Ruf have built quite a few cars with PDKs - many are lower-output turbo cars with the newer direct-injection engine and PDK, but extreme builds like the RGT 4.2 or RtR use the old 997 Turbo engine as a basis, as Ruf have more experience of making it handle high power. Fortunately the 997.2 Turbo had a PDK so it works with the old engine. Ruf had their own paddle-shift back in the 90s too, similar to the Vanquish.

I thought the "Mid-engined Porsche" and "Honda Race Cars" menus were stressful enough, but the McLaren one now takes the cake.

Especially when you consider that the F1 is... well you already know.
 
This looks to confirm some amount of time change available:

The pit+tunnel will be interesting, I’m still curious how it’s implemented:

A bit disappointed the only expansion to wheel offerings is just the new brand, no additional models from existing brands, but at least it was expanded in the first place.

The more I thought about it, Alsace has the same feel. Just without a tunnel. Thing is, one of the interesting parts of the track will be a cut scene. Just like the literal pit parking lot at Tokyo. We can’t experience manual pit stops.

Man you should really go to the ACC forums amigo.
Click to expand...
Thanks for the advice, pal! I frequent that forum but its dead. Still love GT7 and at 500hrs in the game since launch...just bummed the new update on the surface doesn't appear to be a big leap forward. We shall see though.

Could this mean collector level is going up?
View attachment 1374955

I would love that but apparently they write it like that all the time, without any change coming. Collector level should continue to improve at least to the extent of a 100% car collection (would be ~ level 500) and the tickets stats should improve with it to, as they do until level 20 (and why not at least until level 50???) we should no be getting those lame 3* after level 50.

Made a move last week to ACC and loving it! So nice to do some real racing for once.

Yet you are still lingering around here, but why ?
 
I hope whoever requested the competitive rework of the Eiger course by converting it from a rally stage to a circuit, widening it, and removing the jump so they can use racing class cars for Sport mode are happy with the change. :dunce:

I'd like it if they'd just provide competition forms of reworked circuits but it's not looking likely with current development processes.

Regardless, I might not be able to enjoy the update as my G29 is failing me. Hopefully it's just the AC brick that is faulty, so it'll be an easy replacement.

It sounds like the Olympic Esports ~~Series~~ Games is here to stay. Whether GT will feature in them again is an open question. I assume it will again be the FIA running any sim racing portion, and they seem to be a lot more into ACC lately.
